We leave PEI NP today, but before we say farewell to this province we drive to the North Cape. There is a lighthouse here and an Interpretive Center about wind energy. Many wind turbines spin gracefully in the breeze coming off the Gulf of St. Lawrence. O and I drive to the very tip of the cape and view red sand cliffs, great blue herons, ducks, sandpipers, cliff swallows and cormorants. This may be a good area for a hike next year.

From North Cape it is about two hours back to Confederation Bridge. We cross back to New Brunswick after paying the $47.75 toll. Good thing we only have to pay going one way! Another hour of driving brings us to Moncton. We check in to our first floor room at the Scenic Motel Moncton, a classic1960’s style motel with room doors opening directly onto the parking lot. The rooms are clean and appear to have been recently updated. Dinner is at the Pump House Brewery. It’s noisy, but we enjoy the beer and food.
